Should We Use Gemstones

Gemstones have fascinated humanity for centuries. One major reason to consider using gemstones is their aesthetic appeal. Wearing gemstone jewelry can enhance one’s appearance, adding a touch of elegance. Moreover, many believe that gemstones hold metaphysical properties that promote healing, balance, and positive energy, which can be beneficial for personal well-being.

There are six pathways to get rid of negative energy as per our shastras: mantra, tantra, yantra, aushadha, yagna, and Ratna. Here, “Ratna” means gemstone. As per the Karma Purana also, gemstones derive their energy from nine planets, and when people’s bodies come into contact with them, these gemstones give the energy of planets to our bodies in the form of rays and vibrations which affect the person who is wearing them. Our Puranas and even ancient Greek and Roman cultures tell us about the use and influence of these gemstones. In Egypt, people considered them to be a source of divine energy.

When Should We Use Gemstone?

Beyond their ornamental value, many believe that gemstones possess healing properties. Certain stones, like amethyst and clear quartz (sphatik), are often utilized in practices such as Reiki or meditation to bring peace and balance. Knowing when we should use gemstones in our routine can be beneficial. For instance, wearing a calming stone during stressful situations may offer emotional support and grounding. Observe your daily lifestyle and ask yourself a few questions. 

A) Are you able to enjoy your food regardless of whether you eat in a restaurant or at home? 
B) Are you enjoying your friend’s company when you are going out? 
C) Are you living a real-life moment? 
D) Are you mentally present in the same place where you are physically? 

If you answer “no” to any of these questions, then you should use a gemstone in your life. Even though you have money, a home, and all the other things that are required to live a happy life but, you are missing one important ingredient, which is ‘peace,” and that is peace of mind. Here comes the magic of gemstones. 

Remember that it doesn’t end your problem directly, but it shows you the path to ending it. It has the power to control your subconscious mind. In this way, it helps you make the right decision at the right time.
